Following the purported interested of Juventus in signing Athletic striker Fernando Llorente, Italian newspaper Tuttosport reports that the Turin side also have their eye on Athletic Bilbao winger Iker Muniain.

According to the Italian daily, Juventus manager Antonio Conte is a close follower of Muniain, who has been dubbed the ‘Basque Messi’, and has apparently suggested to the team’s Director General, Giuseppe Marotta, that they sign the player along with club mate Fernando Llorente.

However, the Italian team are said to be aware that signing Muniain would be complicated given that the Navarran is signed up to play for Athletic until 2015 and has a buyout clause in his contract worth 45 million Euros.
